    Battle Angel Alita movie in The Independent

    My sentiments exactly, I'm not too enthused at the prospect of a live version but at least Cameron has some reverrence for the material. I hope it's not watered down in it's translation to the big screen, the anime and manga have some grit, and were very nasty iirc, but that's the crux of Alita...

    Battle Angel Alita movie in The Independent

    It will be fascinating to see how Cameron integrates his infamous 3d filming techniques into the framework of a blockbuster, I'd rather he didn't use a franchise as strong as Alita as the proto-type but I'll reserve judgement until I've seen the finished article.

    Manga Artwork

    I prefer a balance of the two, overly detailed mangas can feel a little cramped, the scenes tend to run into each other and you can end up with a confusing albeit extremely pretty mess of panels. Whereas the sparsely detailed and more minimalist titles can leave you wanting a bit too much. I...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    I've recently ordered the 8th volume of Bleach and pre-ordered Bandai's Avenger collection, not too shabby 13 episodes for a measly £16.00, for once my wallet approves. ;)

    Week delays for August anime

    Whilst this is a bad news it doesn't affect me a great deal, I get paid on the 28th of each month so that's the earliest I can get them anyway. :) I'm surprised FMA has been pushed back again, there were no discernable problems with my review copy so I can't understand why MVM are holding...

    Anime films available to download legally?

    I wouldn't be too keen to download a film that I could pick up on DVD for a few extra quid, not to mention the fact I own a large chunk of Optimum's back catalogue (anime and otherwise) anyway.

    There's not a lot in that list takes my fancy, Immortal Rain does look good however and I'll certainly be giving it a look.

    What manga are you reading now?

    I recieved the first seven volumes of Bleach from Amazon today and must say it stacks up nicely to its anime counterpart. The pace is a lot snappier and whilst it lacks some of the anime's padding it's still an essential read for fans..............now I just need to find some shelf space to...

    Worrying signs for the US anime industry

    ADV certainly need to take a step back and put a little more thought into their licensing, their current catalogue is worringly slim and packed with unexciting and generic acquisitions. They really need to stop laying the blame at the feet of fansubbers and realise that their glut of recent...

    What manga are you reading now?

    I've just finished the first volume of Sakura Taisen, the story has been given some fresh twists and the artwork is absolutely gorgeous. I can wait for the next volume, it almost makes me want to dig out my old OVAs again.

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    After what has seemed like an agonising wait I've finally been paid, after much deliberation I settled for the Infinite Ryvius complete collection, Gantz vol.6 and Gunslinger Girl vol.2. On the home front I've ordered ROD the TV vol.2, Chrono Crusade vol.3, the final volume of Bebop and the...

    Your Manga Licensing Wish List

    I'd love Oh Great's Majin Devil to get a license, it's one of the best things I've read in a while. The artwork is breathtaking, svelte ladies, frighteningly powerful pugilists and disgusting demons are all rendered with power and elegance, plus it's only 4 volumes long which is good news for...

    Last Exile...

    Scary stuff, if Joel Silver ever got his hands on Last Exile I would probably cry, if anyone could feel comfortable shoe-horning a bullet-time gunfight or a car chase into Last Exile it would be him.
